I would like to proceed from stage1 to stage2. But the bootstrap.sh script exit with the following error message.
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/tmp/portage/linux-headers-2.4.18-r2/build-info/COUNTER'

If i execute the bootstrap.sh script again, the it exits with another error message:
'/var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.7.9-r1/build-info/COUNTER'

If i execute the scipr once or multiple times more, the second error message shows up!

yes it's the ppc version of gentoo 1.2. i want to install it on my PowerBook G4, but at the moment it looks like it is'nt possible.
i checked also the mailing list archives, and i'm not the only one with this problem. but there isn't a solution at the moment if you wan't to start from stage1.
eventually i will try the stage3 package form "Mark (Gerk)" which is available at http://gentoo-ppc.macdiscussion.com/ (thx btw!).
otherwise debian got 1 user more
